2020 Chevrolet CorvetteOverview

Designed and engineered to match the performance of cars that cost two or three times its price, the new 2020 Corvette Stingray credibly competes with a broad spectrum of sports cars. They range from a Porsche 718 Cayman on the low end to a Ferrari 488 Spider on the high end. Dramatically redesigned and transformed into a mid-engine sports car, the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is priced from less than $60,000 and with the optional Z51 Performance Package can deliver acceleration to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds.

Mid-engine sports cars typically adopt similar proportions, limiting a designer’s ability to distinguish one from another. While the 2020 Corvette Stingray retains the sharply angled lines of the outgoing Corvette, from the doors forward it resembles a folded and creased Ferrari 360 Modena. The rear half of the car is more easily recognizable in terms of Corvette styling cues.

When the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette arrives, it will be available in Stingray trim. Buyers can choose from 12 exterior paints, six interior hues, and three seat designs. The Z51 Performance Package adds drivetrain, suspension, brake, exhaust, and cooling improvements to the car.

Chevrolet says changing to a mid-engine layout is necessary in order to improve the Corvette’s dynamic capabilities over the previous front-engine design. As such, a new 6.2-liter V8 engine is mounted directly behind the two seats, placing it and the car’s occupants as close to the center of gravity as is possible for maximum handling and driving enjoyment, while simultaneously improving weight distribution. With the Z51’s performance exhaust system, the new V8 develops 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It is nestled within a compartment that is visible through the car’s rear window and uses a new 8-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission to power the Corvette’s rear wheels. Paddle shifters and launch control ensure thrilling performance.

Six driving modes tailor the Corvette’s dynamic behavior, including two new custom settings called MyMode and Z Mode. Drivers can activate Z Mode using a button on the steering wheel, instantly accessing a preferred performance profile. Set the new Corvette to Tour mode and this sports car is ready for a road trip. It has two trunks, one in front and the other under the rear hatch between the engine and a curved carbon fiber rear bumper beam. Together, they measure 12.6 cubic feet, enough for a couple of sets of golf clubs or the car’s removable roof panel.

The cockpit features a 12-inch configurable digital instrumentation display, a steering wheel flattened at the top and bottom, an electronic shifter, and the latest Chevrolet infotainment system. Climate controls are a strip of buttons and toggles on a divider between the driver and the passenger.

Additional highlights include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a WiFi hotspot connection. The system is also compatible with OnStar subscription services. A new 14-speaker Bose Performance Series premium surround sound system is available to replace the standard 10-speaker Bose system.

A next-generation Performance Data Recorder (PDR) upgrades the technology with a high-definition camera and improved user experience. Owners can configure the system to operate like a dashboard camera that records every trip.

And while some loyalists might wail that the Corvette’s switch to a mid-engine design ruins what is known as America’s sports car, there is no doubt that the 2020 Stingray is the best one yet.

GuruFXZFK I am absolutely in love with the styling of the New Corvette. I've thought about a Corvette from time to time but never pulled the trigger. I went all in on this car trying the order route and ended up paying a premium because I love this car like I've loved no other American car ever. While the Ford Shelby GT350R is an awesome drivers car, the Corvette offers so much more, right down to a Targa style roof panel that stores in the trunk. 27 mpg on the road and a car that I will be proud of for a very long time. I normally would not have bought a Ceramic Matrix gray metallic, the color is interesting and the equipment package was performance oriented and this time, I pulled the trigger. I'm glad I did. No buyers remorse here. I don't need to wait for a Z06 because I can turn this car into a Z06 killer with a top of the line twin turbo kit. If you can at all afford this car, buy it!! AF

The new 2020 corvette comes with the latest technology and software to make the car one of the best vettes developed to date. One of the best features Im going to like if and when ever I get one thats on order is the OTA over the air software updates for the vette without going to the dealership unless its got to be updated by them. Also now the 2021 is coming with wireless Android Auto/Apple Car Play. I saw a C8 at Jeff Gordon Chevy like the Infotainment screen and the DIC will be great if and when I get mine ordered a 2020 which looks like it wont be built at this time siting at 1100 currently still awaiting the status. Sitting in the car it had plenty of room for two people and the Frunk/trunk has plenty of carrying space. I like the Rapid Blue and I picked out the Accelerate Yellow for the one I want with black wheels 2LT. I did see there having some problems with transmission leaks and 3 cars that have snapped the rear axles would be nice to know the cause of that some where down the road may change my mind if its going to be a major defect or an over stress problem or neglect. Anyway Im hoping to get mine as soon as possible but it looks like a major set back for production now until it gets up and running smooth once again.

Overall:

The Coupe edition sold like hotcakes, while a few convertibles were sold, the information on them is scant, presently. There are a number of reasonably priced and greatly equipped Corvettes available for sale, on line. There is a premium on them. The car is by far the hottest car of the year and the premium only means that your profit, down the road, with will be a little less. This car is the ultimate in comfort and handling and has one of the fastest zeo to 60 times available in natural aspiration. The young people want them. The old people want them. Ford people want them. Everybody wants the Corvette. Get one while you can, because after this week, there will only be 2021s available, for the most part.
